Dear Diary.. I’m officially done mourning the life I thought I would have by now . God’s timing, God’s willing, God’s way.

Late night intellectual conversations with a man you actually like>>>>🤭•

I am realizing how much I cannot stand an unhelpful man.

A lot of lawyers believe that RPC prevents their visibility. The truth is, RPC wants you to be visible, but it discourages unfair practices. This is why a lawyer should take advantage of it and ensure he or she is visible and accessible. You have the needed skills, yes. But, are you visible? Have you asked yourself why big firms always publish briefs they worked on? In some cases, they mention the amount involved in the transaction and extend it by sharing pictures of the team that worked on the deal. Show up, stay up, and be visible. Nobody will do it for you. You have to do it! Thank you, @egi_nupe, for what you do for young lawyers.

imagine having your menstrual , having raging hormones, agitated, crying & a man is matching attitudes with you because he doesn’t understand. like what…

I didn’t start in a top tier firm, never worked in one, had no back up family fund, no fall back funds and no trust fund. Was the daughter of a public primary school teacher who spent afterschool in Isheri frying Garri, fetching water and watching our mum use our unpainted wall as blackboard for our school work revision. While I’m still on my breakthrough journey, here are few things I’ve learnt so far: 1. Use your early years for learning. Yes, you may or may not be well paid but ensure you are learning. In my early years, If I’m not getting it from the firm, I ensured I was getting it from the news, law reports and friends in more active practice than I was. 2. Keep showing up: Some days will be good, some days, tough and other days outrightly bad. One thing you can’t stop doing however is showing up. 3. Never be comfortable doing nothing. Take on more tasks, more work and ensure you challenge yourself always. In my early years, I recall walking to my supervisor to ask for work once I see that I had nothing to do. I didn’t dress up, leave Iyana Ipaja for Lekki at 5am just to come do nothing. 4. Seek value adding opportunities. This is life. Where you arrived with a wobbly wooden ladder, someone else got there by an elevator. Don’t despise your wobbly ladder. Appreciate that it’s helping you move ahead in a place where some are still on the ground. Do not, however, be filled with unnecessary admiration of your wobbly ladder, focus on how you can make it better, how you can get an iron ladder, how you can build a staircase, how you can own your own elevator and finally how you can fly, outpacing even the elevator. The goal is to keep moving. 5. Imagination and innovation should be your companion. Books, movies and the internet has helped us a lot in promoting equal access and opportunities. Take full advantage of this. Keep the vision of where you want to be in mind at all times. Make sure everything you do is taking you a step closer to where you want to be. It’s okay if outsiders do not understand you and how you are moving. You alone know your goal, your map and your journey. Every single time you look at your vision, ensure you improve on it. Do it better. Also, that you have not worked in a top tier firm does not mean that you cannot admire them from afar, watch what they are doing, listen to the interviews of their visioneers, and aim to build something similar if not better than what they have built. 6. Whether one naira or one million naira in fees, so long as your name will be on it, ensure excellence. What this means is that you must maintain a general standard of excellence and never be one to have adjustable level excellence based on fees paid per client. Be clear in your expressions, sound in your reasoning and knowledgeable in the advisory you offer clients. Again, as I am still on this journey myself, I hope to continue to learn more and share as I encounter them. 🙏🏽

a very independent woman but I also want to be treated like that

Young Lawyers, a peak lapel suit Coat looks better than a notch lapel Coat

You'll prepare your statement of claim with confidence, based on what your client told you. It is when you receive the other party's SOD that everywhere will first blur 😂

My issue is I don’t think I should ask. You should just wake up, look at me and give me money.

Legal Access wishes you a successful and productive April! 🫶🏻 Cheers to a month of possibilities! 🥂 #newmonth #April #law #legal #legalaccess
